Chris Hatherly of Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia Executive with a Cause with Tammy Ven Dange
-
- Non-Profit
In this episode of Executive with a Cause, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Chris Hatherly of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.
Like many Not for Profits, The Academy’s funding sources include government grants. Chris shares his experience adjusting to changes in government funding models and how the organisation is reducing their reliance on a source that can change with government agendas.
Chris also talks about the organisation’s transition from a secretary to a CEO approach and how they manage to work with high-profile members to create a cohesive strategy for lobbying. We hear how regular, coordinated efforts are more successful than once-off interactions with policy-makers, and Chris provides further tips on how to build influential relationships with government members.
Finally, Chris explains how he has tailored Salesforce to handle their complex member election process and the benefits of customising the platform for grant management. Chris also outlines his interest in innovative employee benefits, as Not for Profits face the continual challenge of attracting quality talent in a competitive labour market.
